Answer 4

To help narrow down what college or degree, you might want to say why you want to become a marine biologist or what you are planing on doing after you get you degree. There are many different fields of study within Marine Biology, and you should look for a college geared more towards your area of study.

It would also be a good idea to get some Marine Biology experience by getting a marine bio related job, volunteering, or going to a camp. For Example:

Seacamp: Seacamp Association is a non-profit, marine science education facility located on Big Pine Key in the tropical Florida Keys adjacent to Looe Key and Florida's fragile coral reefs. Seacamp offers marine science education and summer camp experiences including SCUBA, sailing, board sailing, and arts & crafts to students from 12-17 years of age.
